I think the author makes a poor analogy here:
>> This would be as similar to blowing up a nuclear plant in New Jersey only if the nuclear plant were stupid enough to put a button on their website – hidden, obviously, through a feat of minor obfuscation – that said “Press Here To Blow Up Nuclear Plant.”
Not having experience in nuclear plants, I would not be surprised to learn that there's a lever/button/etc. that would destroy the plant if pressed at the wrong time. Maybe the button to remove all the control rods or something. Airplanes, cars, computers all have a similar button (e.g. steering wheel, rm -rf, etc.). In any case, it's not obvious to me that a power plant couldn't be destroyed by someone actively trying to do so, especially if that person thinks he's special because he can see through the "minor obfuscation".
So I think this was a really bad analogy.
I don't know enough about weev to have an informed opinion.
